Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Method to Determine the Scale Factor Set to Implement a
Given Scale Factor

A video image
scaling technique is provided which is suitable
for hardware implementation with real-time operation.

The technique
determines an optimal scale factor set which
provides good picture quality. The scale
factor set is defined as
the set of numbers representing the number of pixels that have been
dropped, or eliminated, and the set of numbers representing the
different combinations of pixels that have been averaged, i.e., the
number of pixels kept, or retained, the number of dual averaging
operations and the number of quad averaging operations. To drop a
pixel is to completely eliminate that pixel and to keep a pixel is to
retain all the information that is contained in that pixel. Dual
averaging, or 2 .sup 1 averages the information in two pixels into
one pixel, quad averaging, or 2 .sup 2, averages the information in
four pixels into one pixel, with 2 .sup N averaging 2 .sup N pixels
into one pixel.

It should be understood that each pixel
contains red, green and
blue information, or luminence/red color difference/blue color
difference (YUV), with the intensity of each of these colors being
generally identified in units from 0 to 255 for 24 bit color and with
each color being represented by eight bits.

B represents
the base number of the scale factor, e.g., 100
being the base number when the scale factor is given in percent. S
represents the scale factor, i.e., a range from 0 to B, Dr the number
of dropped pixels, K the number of pixels kept, D the number of dual
averaging pixel operations and Q the number of quad averaging pixel
operations. The scaling hardware needs
the scale factor set in terms
of Dr, K, D and Q for the desired scale factor.
